Reasonably Priced Boudoir Photographer?

Hey ladies!

I REALLY want to have some Boudoir shots taken as a wedding gift for my hubby to be, but I am running into a quandary.  EVERYONE wants $300+ for the actual prints.  I have friends who are photogs, but none are available (one was, but had a family emergency).  Did anyone use a REASONABLY priced photographer? 

My fiance is a pilot and away from home a lot, so I want to give him something he can take with him when he's working and out of town, but I simply can't afford $500.  C'mon. I make $12 an hour.

Help me out if you know of anyone! Thank you!
Wedding date: September 10, 2011

    I did mine with Kathleen Thame. She is so, so reasonable!

    Katie Claire does them and did mine...they were just over $100 and she came to me.

    It's time. Adoption saving and process started in November 2012.

    Another vote for Kathleen Thame.  If you don't catch one of her marathon sessions in a hotel, she's actually cheaper to have come to your home.  She'll even bring hair and makeup team if you want (for extra charge though).

    ETA: here's from an email with her about doing in home-session:
    If you had your own hair/makeup done, the rate would be $150. With places like MAC/Sephora that do your makeup for free with like a $50 purchase, I feel like you get more for your money, but that's entirely up to you. If you wanted the in-home stuff, it would be $250 because it costs me $100 to have them come.

    Yup!!! I LOOOOVE Kate Thame! She's great. I recently had mine done with her during a marathon session which included hair and makeup!
